Is it necessary that exception builds only static libs?  On many
architectures,
this would limit it's usefulness.
Boost Exception is a header-only lib, except for the non-intrusive
exception_ptr support that is provided for some MSVC versions, which is off
by default.
Then I'm confused.  When I build using:

bjam cxxflags=-march=native -sHAVE_ICU=1 -sEXPAT_INCLUDE=/usr -
sEXPAT_LIBPATH=/usr/lib64 --layout=tagged threading=single,multi link=shared 
stage

on fedora 17 x86_64, I got:
